BRIDGEPORT FIRE.
Z DISASTROUS lExrLosIoN
In J. q. Dents Drug store Yestcrday-An
Empty yarnish Barrel Explodss with y
FriEhtful Erect-Narrow Escape from
n Serious fire-Man Badly burned NJ.

Yesterday afternoon between hali.psst
9 and 8 o'clock, an explosion occurred in
J. O. Dent 4 Co.'s drug store, in Oslebay' q
block, Bridgeport, the report OF which was
heard for squares around. The store ele.
vator, which 10 in the rear Of the room,
was lying on the ground floor, and laden
with paints, oils and varnish. The fire
originated, 1t is supposed, from the OK
plosion Of tho gas or vapor in nearly
empty varnlsh barrel from which George
Gray, a young colored man employed
about the store, was about to draw Of
some Of the contonta. 1890
Gray wan very badly burned by the
flash about the head and sho uldefs; his
face WAS ono enormous blister and biz
lips were swollen 10 about three times
their natural Dize. He ssyn that he did
not have cigar about him, and that as
far ashe knows there was no fire aboutthe
place. There was no fire in the stove In
the prescription room, standing noar the
door leading to the platform outside, where
he was standing to draw the stuff. The
elevator runa In shaft OF corrugated iron
built over wood, constructed on the out.
side Of the rear wall Of the building. Ae
soon as the explosion occurred this shat
was filled with blaze that burned fierce
ly and nhot out through the openings into
every story Of the building. 1t ia q
wonder how the building was saved with
80 little damage, none at all comparative.
ly speaking, being done to It, especially as
water waa scarce In the vicinity.
The flames were held under con.
troll, however, by the untiring and fsarlesa
efforts Of John Giflin, Thomas Hoar and u
number Of others, until the arrival OF a
Cleveland 4 Pittsburgh freight engine,
which stationed itself on tho track Just
back Of the fire and furnished water to
the bucket line, which handed the water to

A RAILROAD MANS KINDNESS.

Much credit Is due Mr.. Thomas, Super.
intendent OF the Cleveland & Pittsburgh
Railroad, at Wellsville, who, on hearing
Of the fire over the wires, at oncs tele.
graphed to the conductor on the incom.
ing freight train, James Mcdonald. to run
to the town as quick" as possible and
station the engine near the fire
and furnish water from the tank, and
to take his crew OF brakemen and help
extinguish the flames. 7
The order was carried out to the letter,
and had 1t not been for the timely arrival
Of the engine the entire block would have
undoubtedly been destroyed. 1nF
Mr.. Thomas also telegraphed to Bellaire
and Martins Ferry from We!lsville to
have the pony yard engines from
those places run 10 the place, which was
done. e'r5i, ta4
As soon as the fro broke GU. Mayor
I Jankins telephoned TO this city for aid, as
it seemed certain that the entire block
would be consumed. The Niagara engine
and reel and Island reel were ut once
taken over by Chief Dunning, but by
wonderful work the fire had been extin-
guished when they reached there.
The only peraons in the store room at
the time Of the explosion were Mr.. Dent
and Mr.. Fred Cole, Of this city. They
were sitting near the entrance and were
thrown from their seats to outside the
door, and the force was 90 great that glass
in the windows was broken. Mr.. I. G.
Judkins WAS at work in little room up
stairs near the elevator, that was filled by
the flame. His. mustache was ecorcbed
and his forehead blistered; his escape, like
GraY'e, WAS q narrow one. -l-..--

PLATFORM.


PLATFORM.
A So, ialist society Is the only true Anti
Poverty society.
This Socialist League Is formed to ad-
vance the fundamental principles Of Social
Ism, which are as follows:
The main cause Of all misery, poverty,
vice and crime lies In the artificial environ
ments which surround the individual. The
only way TO abolish these Is to change the
environment. This environment consists In
privileges granted TO control and monopo-
lire natural resources, the tools Of ploduc-
ton, the mediums Of exchange, transporta-
tlon and communication by which they have
fastened upon us our iniquitous wage system.
The way to change this environment Is to
destroy the legallzed power TO control all
these things which entails upon industry re-
strietion Of the enjoyment Of the fruits OF
production, and holds our lives subject to the
Iron Law OF Wages.
They should properly be controlled CO.
operatively by the workers themselves.
PLEDGE.
favow myself Socialist, as defined above,
and to the Socialist Cause pledge my life, my
fortune and my sacred honor.
